Question

The teacher asked the class "If you're lost in a dark forest at night what should you do?"

Jamal said "Stay quiet so you can hear your surroundings"

Is Jamal correct?

Answer 1

Yes, Jamal's suggestion to stay quiet so you can hear your surroundings is a reasonable approach if you're lost in a dark forest at night. Remaining quiet can help you listen for sounds that may indicate the presence of other people, animals, or potential paths to safety. It can also help reduce panic and allow you to think more clearly. However, it's also important to consider other actions, such as finding a safe spot to stay put, using a whistle if you have one to signal for help, or trying to make a plan based on your situation.
